What ISNetworld RAVS actually requires from you
ISNetworld's Review and Verification Service (RAVS) is the document-review process that sits between you and your hiring clients. When a hiring client adds you on ISNetworld, the system generates a list of required written safety programs based on your scope of work. RAVS reviewers then check every document you upload against specific criteria.
Here is what RAVS reviewers are checking for:
Written program completeness
Each required program must exist as a standalone document with defined responsibilities, procedures, and training requirements. Missing sections trigger rejection.
OSHA standard citations
Reviewers expect references to applicable 29 CFR standards throughout. "Wear PPE" is not a program — "29 CFR 1926.28: Personal Protective Equipment" is.
Trade-specific content
Your programs must match your declared scope of work. A roofer submitting a generic office-safety manual gets flagged. An electrician without arc flash or LOTO content gets flagged.
Company-specific details
Blank templates and fill-in-the-blank forms are obvious to reviewers. Your company name, responsible parties, and site-specific procedures need to be present — not placeholder text.
If you work in a state-plan state (California, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, and 17 others), RAVS also expects state-specific citations — Cal/OSHA Title 8, WA DOSH WAC 296, Oregon OSHA OAR 437 — not just federal 29 CFR references.
Why generic safety programs fail RAVS review
Most contractors approach ISNetworld one of three ways — and most of them lead to rejection:
The free template from the internet.
Generic Word documents with "[Company Name]" placeholders, no OSHA citations, no trade-specific content, and no state-plan references. RAVS reviewers see these constantly and reject them. They do not describe your operations because they were not written for your operations.
The $50–$300 prebuilt safety manual.
Bundled packages that include dozens of program sections — but none of them match your specific trade or state. An HVAC contractor in Oregon gets the same manual as an electrician in Texas. RAVS reviewers check whether your content matches your declared scope. When it does not, you resubmit.
The $2,000–$10,000 safety consultant.
They deliver quality work — eventually. Timelines of 2–6 weeks are typical. For a small contractor who needs ISNetworld approval to start a job next month, that timeline can mean lost revenue. And the pricing reflects enterprise clients, not five-person crews.
Every RAVS rejection adds weeks to your qualification timeline. Every week without qualification is a week you cannot bid on work for that hiring client.
How CrewCompliance builds programs that support RAVS review
CrewCompliance starts with your company, your trade, and your state — then generates written safety programs structured around what RAVS RAVS reviews commonly request for.
- Trade-specific hazard coverage — a roofer gets fall protection and heat illness prevention; an electrician gets arc flash safety and lockout/tagout. Your program matches your scope of work because it was built from your scope of work.
- State-plan compliance built in — if you work in California, your program cites Cal/OSHA Title 8 standards. Washington cites WA DOSH WAC 296. Oregon cites OAR 437. All 50 states covered, including all 21 state-plan states.
- Full 29 CFR citations throughout — every program section references the applicable OSHA standard. Not just "fall protection" but "29 CFR 1926 Subpart M: Fall Protection." This is what reviewers are trained to look for.
- Your company name and details on every page — not a fill-in-the-blank template. Your company name, your responsible parties, your crew context.
- Standalone program structure — each section (HazCom, Fall Protection, LOTO, PPE, etc.) is structured as a standalone written program. Upload each one individually to ISNetworld, exactly how RAVS expects them organized.
- Programs your supervisors can explain — ISNetworld RAVS 360 interviews have auditors questioning your field supervisors about your safety procedures. Our programs describe your actual operations, not abstract policies.
